Blueprints Web site

The Sun J2EE Blueprints consist of a book and a sample application.

The book is entitled Designing Enterprise Applications for the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. It is the best source for learning about J2EE and building J2EE applications. It describes in detail J2EE technologies, JSPs and servlets, enterprise beans, standalone clients, packaging and deployment, transaction management, and security.

The book illustrates best practices in developing J2EE applications using the J2EE sample application.

The sample application is called Java Pet Store. It is an excellent demonstration of how to build a J2EE applications. SilverStream comes with an implementation of Java Pet Store.
